Liberty vs Wings Injury Report
Satou Sabally is out for the Liberty with a concussion. Leonie Fiebich is questionable with foot soreness.
The Wings don’t have any players listed on their injury report.
Liberty vs Wings Prediction
The Liberty should be favoured at home, where they’ve played their best ball, but they’re still down Sabally and could be without Fiebich. It’s also tough for the Liberty to keep getting up for big games as their last three efforts came against Golden State, Vegas, and Minnesota. Sounds exhausting. The Wings are an explosive young team that’s turning heads right now, and they already smoked the Liberty back in late May as a 6.5-point underdog. The Wings have 7 road wins and don’t seem to be scared of the moment. This feels like a competitive game. I’ll lean toward the points.
